Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.
Watch out!
This car is fun to drive, espically with the CVT. Seating takes some getting used to. The climate control system IS A FAILURE. When cold outside it is hot inside. When the temperature setting is 64 deg.F the cabin stays at 74. This is the LOWEST temperature available. Audi service has tried to fix it at least 5 times and finally concluded that it is "Operating within specification" since ALL of the cars do the same thing. All of them are wrong according to the mechanic. Also experienced many other failures that have been fixed.
Solid, Safe & Fun
My first luxury car was worth the wait. Solid car, feels safe to drive and has the features to back up the claims. Fit & finish excellent inside and out. 3.0L engine with the CVT is smooooth and fast. I love the extra power it delivers at high speeds, passes others without straining. Amazing car for the money. Drove the BMW-3 and chose the A4 for FWdrive and price. My wife wouldn't drive this car for the first 1 1/2 years, too powerful. Now I can't get it back from her.

Excellent car If this continues I will be an Audi Driver for life.
One Test Drive and You'll Be Hooked
Value to feature content incredible like std in dash 6 disc cd, subwoofer, stability system, dual zone a/c, 6 airbags. Got sports pckg plus sunroof. Rides a bit harsh when road is rough, other than that, I get close to 500 miles on 17 gal tank, and an incredible smooth and quiet ride (3k rpm at 70mph). Can't believe this is only a 1.8 engine. My former BMW can't touch refinement and price/value ratio.
great car
Was looking for an A4 or 325. here's what i found with 2 similarly equipped cars (both with sport pkg, prem pkg, auto, xenon): -BMW WINS: 1. BMW inline 6 2. power seats w/ memory. no excuse for this not being available on the 1.8T. -AUDI WINS: 1.styling (this is close). 2.interior. we got a dolphin gray exterior and a "platinum" interior. Beautiful. 3. various features...in-dash 6-CD changer, standard. dual-zone climate control. 4. Price. (diff of $3000) 5. 4-yr free maintenance. however, BMW has matched this for their 2003 models
horrible experience
I'm the owner of a 2002 A4 1.8T quattro....car broke down 3 times within a year, was stuck 50 miles from my home in 20 degree weather with my wife & 80 year old mother- in-law (who suffers from alzheimers) for over 4 hours until roadside assistance pickedup car.... dealer would not approve rental car until they saw car (being roadside asssitance took so long- dealer was closed!!!)... horrid experience, feel very unsafe in car, will never drive again! 2 years left on lease.....
first A4
Love it a lot. Ride is really smooth even with the Sport Package. Inside/Outside mirrors also dim, really cool.
Horrible car and service
had nothing but electrical problems and safety problems. Audi and Dealer will not willingly take back the car. Make sure that you do not make the same mistake
Quality control needs improvement
Replaced a 99.5 2.8 fwd a4 with the 2002 3.0 quattro. In all respects, from an engineering and driving standpoint, a better, more fun to drive car. But at delivery, and in the first few weeks, a number of quality control problems appeared, e.g. gritty paint, heated mirrors don't work, quirky climate control, sunroof rattle, defective key fob, faulty back seat latch, etc. Does not seem the car was properly checked before being shipped.
First Audi
This is my first car, I have driven a truck for the last 8 years and so far I absolutely love this car. The seats are very comfortable and I have plenty of room 6'4. I think that everything about the car is fantastic. A beautiful car that really stands out among the sea of BMW's and Benz's that flood California.
2002 what a difference
I was originally going to purchase the car in 2001, but held off for financial reasons. I recently purchased the car with audi of fairfield in CT. One of the most consumer friendly dealerships I have been to. The 3.0 was a little out of my price range but the 1.8t was perfect fully loaded with almost all the options of the 3.0 plus the quattro for 30K on the nose. New new styling is much better in the rear but still could use a tweak or two to make it more like the A6. Overall it looks great but the best part is the creature comforts audi gives you inside. Hands down the best interior out of any comprable car.
75k and still going
This is my second Audi (prev 4000CS) and am pleased with the way the car has performed. I first bought the auto in Seattle and had shipped to Europe (wanted US specs) and had it up to 128 mph. It drove flawless on the Autostrata! I purchased with the Phatbox and so I can enjoy my MP3s. The leatherette seats hold up better than the real leather seats my friend purchased with his Audi A4. Only big issue is that you must change the extended oil religeously with the turbo motor as it will cook the oil in the return pipe and cause the warning light to come on. It's a costly fix so beware. Overall the car is joy to drive when I can get away from my wife. Economical yet has power. Love it!
Rare CVT
The CVT is a pleasure to drive! The car has performed flawlessly. The 1.8t has plenty of power around town and does great on the highway.
The ultimate in design and engineering.
I originally went to an Audi dealer to drive a TT and decided that it was not enough of a step up in size and comfort from my '99 Miata to justify a switch. I drove the A4 and was hooked. Two days later I picked up my Amulet Red 1.8T, 5 Speed with Sport Package, Sunroof, Xenon Lights & Bose Stereo. I am totally infatuated with my car! It is as sporty and as much fun to drive as the TT. The 5 speed shifts with ease, and with the exception of a slight turbo lag, I couldn't ask for more power. The fit and finish on this car is nearly flawless. Handling and performance could not be better. I have never been this enthusiastic about a car. It is precision "German Engineering" at it's best!
A FINE CAR!
I had been in the market for a reliable, safe car for my daughter and found an '01 A-4, 1.8 Turbo. She loves the car! I then decided to look at the '02 Quattro 6 cylinder for my wife. We've already put 12,000 miles on the car and would consider it by far the "funnest" vehicle we've ever owned! My wife does most of the driving of the Audi, and she enjoys the comfort and solid feel. (she washes the car weekly with a diaper!) I think she's pretty safe in the car, and thus far, it's been reliable. Only negative is we were promised "free" service for 48,000 miles. They neglect to tell you that this doesn't include synthetic oil ($33 per change.
Class and Style
I looked at the A4 and the IS300, but went for the A4. I've run up about 1500 miles so far and it drives great. Handling is precise and firm, road feel is just right (with sport package), and power is ample for my driving (don't know about you, but not many chances for 0-60 driving). If design and looks were the only element, this car would be above all else. The only thing I'm not sure of at this point is the reliability. Heard its improving, but will wait to see. Overall, A4 is all I expected and more. The A4 exudes class and quality. Go out and drive one and you'll see what I mean.
The Best Car Ever Built
This is my first Audi A4 and there will definately be more in the future. This is the best car I have ever driven. The handling , power, design, Interior, exterior - everything is superb. I plan on buying my wife an A4 Avant next year. Awesome job Audi!!!!!
Very impressed
This is my first Audi and its an awsome car, beautiful exerior design, and high quality build. The car feels elegant and sporty. I love the handling and the power of the car and the overall feel of the drive, it feels solid on the highway. I test drove BMW 3 series, Infiniti G35 and this was definitly the winner. I live in San Francisco and you should see how this car handles those steep city hills and driving through the mountain roads of the Bay Area.
CVT
I've always wanted an automatic that performs like a manual, maximizes gas like a manual, drives smooth like a manual without having to shift! Well, this CVT has it. 0-60 and mpg equal that of the manual and I have two hands to drive.
One of a kind *****
The new a4 comes with a lot of options standard wich BMW doesnt.(6 disc indash cd player,duel auto air,full size spare wheel with maching rims,first aide kit,5 cup holders,4 link suspemsion,head light washers,full size side curtain airbags,safty triangle in the trunk,
Worth every penny!!!
I just purchased my new A4 AWD 1.8T Quattro. Let me tell you, it's worth every thing you pay for. Having only had the car for a couple of days now, I cannot comment on wear, maintenance issue, etc. However, this car has been driving like a dream. I am only sad that I now have to go to the office since the weekend is over. Don't hessitate on this one. It's as good as you think it is!!!
nice car
nice/comfortable car. beautiful design. excellent build quality. reliable. BUT it is NOT a sports sedan. entertaining family sedan, maybe. but definitely not a sports sedan.
2002 A4 1.8T Quattro
Wonderful Automobile but just a tad underpowered. Friends think I paid a mint for the car and would be surprised at the actual price. Only thing I would change would be to add a few horsepower.
Great Sports Sedan
I was basically down to the A4, IS300, or G35. Would've chosen a 3 Series, but didn't look like too good of a value in comparison. Been driving an IS300 regularly and it's awesome, but didn't want two IS300s. Finally chose the A4 because of quattro, looks, and warranty. So far the car has been great. Handling is good, but not quite as sharp as the 3 Series. Ride is excellent, turbo has surprisingly good torque, engine music readily heard. Tiptronic works great. Road and wind noise is low, and interior shouts quality. Lots of pleasant surprises (lights everywhere, little compartments). Car looks great, especially with 17-inch alloys. Lots fun to drive.
Audi A4
I love the fact that my wife will be riding in both safety and comfort without sacrificing style.
Awesome All Around
For this price, can't beat the luxury and build quality. Thought Mercedes C- Class would be better, but A4 topped it hands down. C-Class felt cheap and Bimmer interior not on par though Bimmer has a slight edge in performance. Solid ride, tight turns, ambient red light environment is addictive at night. Everything sounds like an expensive engineering feat. Love this car!!!
2002 A4 1.8MT5
This is the best handling car I have owned. Also has the best interior I have seen under $60K. Love the Quattro and the unique Audi style. For a few thousand more than an Accord or Camry, a much better car.
Lemon Aid
Too many expensive repairs has taken the fun out of this car. I will miss the way it drives and extras, like the Bose stereo system, when I soon buy something different.
A4 is better than S4!!
this car is smoother than the S4 but the S6 is better than the A6.
EXCELLENT GERMAN CAR
THIS CAR IS AMAZING, GOOD PERFORMANCE, CONFORTABLE, GOOD QUALITY, AND GOOD SERVICE.
Audi's Finest A4 yet!
Had it 5 months so far and am loving it! Have the 1.8T 5 speed and it is so fun to drive! Plenty of pick-up. Handles extremely well too!
2 Sweeeeet!
I recently purchased an A4 loaded, including the sport package. I have to travel often through the northern AZ mountains, and I cant seem to do it anymore without a big ole s*** eating grin on my face. This car is pure quality. The 1.8 T gives plenty of performance, especially when the transmission is in sport mode. Also the tiptronic option of driving it manually is way cool. I love this car.
Sweet!!
This car is amazing. I have driven 12,000 miles in 6 months. Car is a pleasure to drive. Nice pickup and precise handling. It get a bit cramped if 5 people are sitting in the car. The dash board has too many buttons, but I find that cool. I find it hard to think of any mistakes in this car.
VAG Got it right
I had a 99 Passat GLX that I bought used but I think the car had been abused, had plenty of intermittent electrical problems and annoying stuff like that but I loved to drive it. I stepped up to the A4, mainly because of better build quality. The car is a driver's dream. The attention to detail is stunning. Even though I took a loss to jump out of the Passat, I feel it's worth it.
a4 kicks butt
I've had my 2002 a4 for 8 months and it rules. Sport package, sunroof, heated seats. I still can't believe the beauty of the interior. I traded in Buick Regal for a4. Comparing the two cars would be like comparing Babe Ruth and Bob Eucker.
What German Engineering Means
What a well designed and thought out vehicle. A real pleasure to drive. Takes curves w/ ease. Fantastic gas mileage @70+ mph @ 35mpg. Roomy and seats 4 comfortably. Lots of amenities.
Unbelievable machine!!!
Build quality edges Bimmers, Benzes, and Lexuses. While reliability leaves some to be desired, this may be an improvement with this new model.
Wow and Wowee...
This car far exceeded my expectations and everything I'd read. I didn't think I'd go for one but when I drove the '02 Passat and then the '02 1.8T, I knew that the Audi was for me. Tighter, smaller, quicker, and, yeah, more money. Don't believe what everyone says that the Passat is a better value: drive both to see what suits your driving style, etc. best. Don't get me wrong: my '99 Passat was terrific but this is car is "Wow!" The quality of craftsmanship in this car is incredible.
Good, but could be better
The 1.8T in the quattro, automatic is lethargic. Audi really needs to boost up the HP to make it a pleasing ride. The car is solid and handles great, but just too darn slow,,push the gas and it doesn't want to move!!!! Driver needs mopre leg room , it's too cramped and I am of average height and weight.
more than i expected
bought mine 5/16/02. was also considering a jag, or bmw 3series. how ever i ended up at an audi store only to kill a few minutes. came back the next night and made a deal on the car before driving it.well anyway i picked it up the next day and i'm more than satisfied. i look forward to driving this car every day.the car is put together beautifully, and has all the toys anyone could want. i highly recommend this car.
Gotta get one
This car is awsome! I just got it but i traded in a Volvo S60 and i love everything about it. As soon as i got in the car i knew i had to have one. I love my car and recommend it to everyone!
Audi A4
As close to being a perfect car. Everyone who hops into my new car gets wowed by the interior. This is especially true at night. But there is some getting used to in terms of the perfect seat positioning, as I came from a sport coupe.
My 1.8T Quattro Review
The car has awesome handling, looks great, and superb build quality. You get a lot more for your money with the A4 compared to the BMW 3 series. Before test driving I was actually leaning toward a 3 series, but all it took was a test drive and seeing the A4 next to the Bimmer to sway me toward the Audi. Actually after the test drive, I didn't even consider the BMW again.
Great A4
After waiting 3 months to recieve my car it finally arrived. What a great car! I looked at a BMW 330, but the styling was boring. After getting the complete new Aero kit (first in the USA) put on the car it looks great! I love the Tiptronic, now my wife can enjoy driving a fast car also.
A4 Effort
This is my 2nd Audi, and by far this A4 is a big imrovement over my last Audi. I love the style, handling, interior and exterior build quality and the little touches Audi built into this car. I look for twisty roads to drive and I smile every day I am in this car. I give Audi a big A 4 effort !!
2002 Audi A4
I love the double exhaust. In and out, the car feels great. I was glad I didn't get the Passat. More importantly, I chose this car over the likes of C-Class and the 3-Series.
No comparison
This has got to be the best car I have ever owned. Had it one week and I've already have 1200 miles on it. I've been looking for excuses to drive anywhere and everywhere. Smooth, crisp handling and everything just fits right.
Best of the Best
I've been owning BMW 328I for 5 years now and we wanted to buy a sports wagon. Choices were: BMW 325 or Audi A4. A4 is better value. Styling is perfect, driving a car is pleasant. Car handles as it should be for a German automobile. Very satisfied with A4 Avant. We'll see how the quality of the car turn up in the next 5 years or more.
2002 Audi A4
This car is a beaut. Its a good competition with the 3-series...I love everything about it. If I had more dough, I would've bumped up for the 3.0 or wait for the S4. But for now, I'm smiling everyday.
Fun to drive
For the price a great car. Wish the cd changer was more random but that is the only thing I would improve
